I'm trying to find a good snapshot that supports Asterisk for my new VOIP adapter. I tried the latest recommended snapshot (24098) but learned from posde that it had a bug.

You are experiencing a bug which has been rectified in the latest snapshot. Try apt-get update and upgrade - if it does not work, you can manually screw around with removing some deb packages (asterisk-config removal with dpkg and forceall) and an install of freepbx after that, or if it is easier for you, just download the latest snapshot.
This quote was posted on 26 July which means I had to use snapshot 24279 or later. As of now (29 July) there are no other snapshots. Unfortunately snap 24279 hung on installation when downloading the Myth plugin. When I try to reboot the start goes into an infinite loop "Adding sambahelper to smbpasswd".
It seems similar to the bad snapshot identified in this post from a year ago.

On a positive note, I was able to get my phone line installed before my installation crashed.

LinuxMCE-8.10-24255-i386.iso works
Tested by me and TKmedia, I will look at your snapshot. In the meantime try it with this one.

I tried 24255, then retried with 24279. Results are the same - during the wizard I get "failed to get pluto mythtv plugin". Then when rebooting it goes into a loop...

The failed getting the mythtv plugin sometimes happen......it doesn't break my install.
Are you sure you do not force start in 2nd wizard install?
What videocard do you have?
I am installing 24279 now in vm

When I tried snap 24279, I did not force the start.
When I tried snap 24255, it did the "samba" loop about 15 times, then the screen went grey with an operable cursor. It stayed that way for over three hours until I did a hard restart with the power button.
When I retried 24279 I did a few things differently. I thought maybe I was having a repository problem, so I manually edited /etc/apt/sources.list before installing LMCE.

This did not fix the problem, so I impatiently hit the "force start anyway" button during the wizard. I'm not actually sure what this button does, but figured it would not be there if it would damage my installation.

I installed 24279 on a VM today, no problems, I can get into UI1.

I just finished installing 24279 today, no problems, with UI2 alpha blending. Any ideas what could have caused yesterday's problems? Possibly a server issue with the pluto MythTV plugin?
Thanks for you help with this. I'm happy. Now I can proceed into VOIP configuration hell!
